Types of Trauma
Trauma can be experienced in many forms. Here are some of the most common ways that trauma can manifest:
- Acute trauma – symptoms of trauma that occur following a single stressful or overwhelming event (for example, a car accident, medical procedure, sudden loss, or single sexual assault)
- Chronic trauma – symptoms of trauma that occur following repeated or prolonged overwhelming or distressing events (for example, domestic violence, long-term serious illness, fighting in combat or living through war)
- Complex trauma – exposure to varied traumatic events that are often invasive and interpersonal (between people)
- Developmental trauma – exposure to trauma that happens in childhood and is often prolonged (for example, abuse or neglect from parents or caregivers)
How I help
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Allows the brain to re-process experiences of distress and/or trauma, leading to reduction of trauma-related symptoms.
Attachment Therapy
Therapy that examines the relationships with primary caregivers early in life, and how your needs were met as a child. These relationships define how you build relationships with others.
Parts Work
Examines the relationships between the various “parts” of ourselves or “sub-personalities”, which we all have, in order to work toward harmony within ourselves.
Narrative Therapy
Therapy that uses your story and externalizes your struggles to pursue healing, while viewing yourself as the expert of your own life.
Somatic Experiencing
This is a form of therapy that addresses the body’s role in working through effects of trauma.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
A form of behaviour therapy that examines the relationship between thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and physical sensations.
